FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Nike Dunk Low Scrap is designed for lifestyle and casual everyday wear, not for athletic running.
How does the size compare to other Nike models?
The Dunk Low Scrap generally fits true to size for most adults, similar to the standard Air Force 1 or Dunk silhouette.
Can I use these in the rain?
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, the mixed material upper is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to prevent material damage.
What is the primary material used?
The upper consists of a curated mix of leather and textile materials as part of Nike's sustainability initiative.
How do I ensure a secure fit?
Utilize the lace-up front closure to adjust the tension across the bridge of your foot for a customized, secure feel.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Insert a shoe tree when not in use to help the material retain its shape and smooth out minor creases.
Difficulty cleaning different fabric textures
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit that includes brushes with varying stiffness to treat the leather and synthetic sections independently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Dunk Low Scraps last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the various textures. For persistent stains, use a mild, shoe-safe cleaner, but test a small, inconspicuous patch first due to the mixed materials.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the navy and black dyes from fading.
- Care: Avoid machine washing. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or a shoe tree to maintain their shape while they air dry naturally.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for a standard UK 8.5, but consider wearing mid-weight socks to optimize the internal feel.
